A circular aluminum tube of L=600mm is loaded in by compressive forces at its ends. The outside and inside diameters are 75mm and 63mm respectively. A strain gage is placed on the outside of the tube to measure nomal strains in the longitudinal direction. E=73 GPa and Poisson's is 0.33. a. If the normal stress in the tube is 57 MPa, what is the load P? b. if the strain is 781 X 10-6, what is the shortening of the tube? What is the percent change in its cross-sectional area.
